Cold and Getting Colder
I had an interesting week that was good. On Thursday we had a really spiritual lesson with a 17 year old named Wakabayashi. We watched the Restoration DVD and he really felt the Spirit. After watching it he told us that he "came to know of the actuality that Joseph Smith met God and Jesus Christ". It was awesome! Unfortunately, the next day when we called him he told us that his parents are opposed to him meeting with us, so we will probably never get to meet with him again. Bummer.
But on Friday we had a great lesson with Iwane san (a young mother) and we were able to set a baptismal date with her for the 22nd of November. She couldn't come to church this past week, but is coming this week. She is turning into a really solid investigator and we are excited to keep meeting with her and helping her prepare to get baptized.
On Monday we got snow in Iwamizawa! It was only about an inch, but on Tuesday morning we woke up to a foot of snow! But throughout the day on Tuesday, the sun came out and started melting the snow. So we rode our bikes through slush and had a difficult time getting from A to B. We both had a couple good crashes, but we just laughed about them. The snow kept melting, and now there are just traces of it on the ground. It was good while it lasted.
Well, that is about it. We get to go to Asahikawa for Zone Conference tomorrow, so that is exciting. I love you all. Have a great week.
